Next Friday

2000 Comedy

In this sequel to the urban comedy Friday, rap music star Ice Cube returns as Craig Jones, a streetwise man from South Central Los Angeles who has a knack for getting into trouble. This time out, Craig is still trying to outsmart neighborhood bully Debo (Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.); after Craig gets the better of Debo in a fist fight, Debo is determined to flatten Craig in a rematch. Looking to stay out of Debo's way, Craig decides that it would be a good time to visit his cousin (Mike Epps) and uncle (Don "DC" Curry), who have recently won the lottery and moved into a spacious new home in the suburbs. Like Friday, Next Friday was written by Ice Cube and his frequent musical collaborator DJ Pooh; music video director Steve Carr made his feature debut with this film.

Director: Steve Carr

Starring: Ice Cube, Mike Epps, Justin Pierce, John Witherspoon, Don D.C. Curry

  • An extremely funny movie, and this is coming from someone who barely cracked a smile during ``Friday,'' the first installment of this franchise.

  • One of the freshest, nastiest comedies to come around in quite some time.

  • Starts high, gradually bogs down, then dies.

    Owen Gleiberman - Entertainment Weekly

  • But most of the humor is about as fresh as the air left behind whenever Witherspoon uses a toilet.

    Susan Wloszczyna - USA Today

  • The action is mostly witless and predictable. One measure of its desperation and lack of respect for its audience is the frequency with which it labors to wring humor from flatulence and excrement gags.
